Fat Guy Thought: Sleep

Fat Guy's think a little differently from skinny people and here's Darris with the proof.---

Overweight people need sleep just like any other person, but fat people can go quite a long time without having to sleep. The constant extra reserves of energy sort of act like a slow burn then not only affect how long we can stay away but also how long we sleep for.

I could (and have) easily gone on 20 hour days with 4 hours of sleep with no backlash several times, and even in a row. It accumulates not only in the energy we have just from the fat we have stored, but also from the general lack of energy we burn during the day. This has more to do with the lack of exercise overweight people tend to get per day.
